baby rocks.

Baby woke up today with a fever of 101.5. I know that’s not huge, but as his first official fever, it’s still scary to see. It didn’t help that he woke up crying (completely out of character) and didn’t want to be consoled with nursing (unheard of for this boob man). So of course I have a slight wave of panic as I look out into our living room onto our dining table at the stack of clothes waiting to be packed in our suitcase for the weekend… ready to head off on another camping trip tonight… So now what. After a dose of infant Advil, a quick email to our pediatrician, and a 2hr nap, we’ve determined he’s okay to go and it’s either a small cold or just teething. Although, it’s hard to diagnose teething, since he refused all his teethers AND an ice pop (totally strange), but he seems fairly normal and I don’t see any other visible symptoms. He’s also back asleep for a second nap, which is highly unusual lately, since he’s only been taking one nap a day for the last two weeks. We’ll see how the rest of today goes.
